Daughter's Reaction to Returning Military Father May Make You Bawl

The holiday season is about to get a whole lot happier for this little girl

No Halloween candy could compare to the sweet treat one little girl from North Carolina just received. While visiting a pumpkin patch with her mom, Meg Kaplan, she got the surprise of her life, and it's all captured on video.

The setup to the special moment: Her mother asks her to pose for a picture, but really, she's filming. "Cheese! Pumpkin day…Trick or treat day," the daughter says adorably. Suddenly, her dad, Levi Kaplan, sneaks up behind her, exclaiming, "Pumpkin day!" The stunned daughter becomes speechless. It was the first time in 10 months she was seeing her father, who had been serving in Afghanistan.

Shocked at first, she doesn't believe her dad is actually there. She then hugs him and starts crying. "I missed Daddy." Her parents aren't sure what kind of tears she's shedding, but it quickly becomes apparent that they're happy tears. At the end of the video, it's revealed how the parents organized the heartwarming surprise for their daughter. Watch the beautiful moment above (and try not to get too choked up).
